Dark amber coloured body with a nice tan head that fades fast. Aroma of fresh hops, strong caramel malt, some metal, pine and grapefruit all rolled into one. Heavy-bodied; Strong spiceyness of pine and grapefruit with a large malt backbone and a taste that fades quickly. Aftertaste shows none of the beer that was picked up right at first sip, the beer fades off to nothing. Overall, a beer that lacks in complexity, but looks and smells promising. I sampled this 65 cL bottle puchased at BevMo in Danville, California on 06-December-2004.

Bottle. Dark amber color with a big off-white head. Some malts and citrus hops in the aroma, but not altogether string. AT first there’s a big malty flavor that then gets backed by some northwest hops. Some fruit flavors as well.
